The device used by the doctor to amplify the heartbeat is

  1. Periscope

  2. Thermometer

  3. Stethoscope

  4. Microphone

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
The stethoscope is an acoustic (hearing) medical device used for auscultation (listening of internal sounds of the body. The doctor will place a small metal circle called a bell, against the chest, at the spot where a person can feel the heartbeat. Hence the device used by the doctor to amplify the heartbeat is stethoscope.
So, the correct answer is 'Stethoscope'.

The stethoscope was discovered by

  1. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek

  2. Leopold Auenbrugger

  3. Jean-Nicolas Corvisart

  4. René Laennec

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Rene Laennec was a french physician. He invented the stethoscope in 1816. It is used to listen heart and lungs sound.
So, the correct answer is 'René Laennec'.

The atrial walls are _than the ventricular wall, and pressure generated in the atrial chambers is than in the ventricles.

  1. thinner,higher

  2. thinner,lower

  3. thicker,higher

  4. thicker,lower

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
The ventricles of the heart have thicker muscular walls than the atria. This is because blood is pumped out of the heart at greater pressure from these chambers compared to the atria. 

So, the correct option is 'thinner, lower'.

Glomerular filtration rate would be decreased by?

  1. Construction of the efferent arteriole

  2. An increase in afferent arteriolar pressure

  3. Compression of the renal capsule

  4. An increase in renal blood flow

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Constriction of the afferent arteriole would increase the pressure in the afferent arteriole. This would decrease the blood flow into the glomerulus and hence, the glomerular filtration rate decreases. This is due to the decrease in the glomerular hydrostatic pressure.
So, the correct answer is 'An increase in afferent arteriolar pressure'.

Choose the correct pathway of the transmission of impulses in the heart

evs circulation of blood blood transfusion transfusion of blood blood and organ donation

  1. AV node $\rightarrow$ SA node $\rightarrow$ Bundle of His $\rightarrow$ Purkinje fibres

  2. SA node $\rightarrow$ AV node $\rightarrow$ Bundle of His $\rightarrow$ Purkinje fibres

  3. SA node $\rightarrow$ Bundle of His $\rightarrow$ AV node $\rightarrow$ purkinje fibres

  4. AV node $\rightarrow$ Bundle of His $\rightarrow$ SA node $\rightarrow$ Purkinje fibres

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
1. The sinoatrial node (SA node) generates the electric impulse that begins the heart beat.
2. The excitation wave travels throughout the muscle of each atrium, causing it to contract.
3. The atrioventricular node (AV node) is stimulated. The relatively slower conduction through this node allows time for the atria to contract and complete the filling of the ventricles.
4. The excitation wave travels rapidly through the bundle of His and then throughout the ventricular walls by means of the bundle branches and Purkinje fibers. 

Pulse is a wave contraction transmitted along the

  1. Veins

  2. Arteries

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The arterial pulse is a measurement of the heart’s contraction rate because a pulse wave is created when the left ventricle contracts. The arteries expand in response to this contraction and increase in volume. Once expanded, the arteries will contract forcing blood to circulate to the capillaries and then to the veins. The arterial pulse is evaluated for the contour of the pulse wave and its volume, rate and rhythm. The carotid pulse is the most accurate reflection of central aortic pulse. Thus, option B is correct. 

The wave of expansion of an artery when blood is forced into it, is called as

  1. Heart beat

  2. Pulse

  3. Blood wave

  4. Artery wave

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Pulse is the regular, recurrent expansion and contraction of an artery, produced by waves of pressure, caused by the ejection of blood from the left ventricle of the heart as it contracts. Pulse is easily detected on superficial arteries, such as the radial and carotid arteries, and corresponds to each beat of the heart.

The resting person usually has a plus rate between ....... beats per minute.

  1. 72 and 78

  2. 72 and 80

  3. 72 and 76

  4. 70 and 80

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Resting heart rate is the heart pumping the lowest amount of blood you need because you’re not exercising. If you’re sitting or lying and you’re calm, relaxed and aren’t ill, your heart rate is normally between 70 (beats per minute) and 80 (beats per minute). But a heart rate lower than 60 doesn’t necessarily signal a medical problem. It could be the result of taking a drug such as a beta blocker. A lower heart rate is also common for people who get a lot of physical activity or are very athletic, Stein said. Active people often have lower heart rates because their heart muscle is in better condition and doesn’t need to work as hard to maintain a steady beat. 

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

The number of beats ........ is called as the pulse rate.

evs circulation of blood blood transfusion transfusion of blood blood and organ donation

  1. Two minutes

  2. Three minutes

  3. Per minute

  4. Four minutes

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Pulse is a term that signifies the throbbing of arteries as an effect of heartbeat and is counted by the number of beats per minute. The normal pulse rate ( count of arterial pulse beats per minute ) in a healthy adult at rest ranges from 72 to 80 beats per minute. However, the pulse rate may fluctuate with exercise, illness, injury, and emotions.
Pulse rate in an individual can be checked at various points on the body. This is because the pulse may palpate at any place in the human body where an artery can be compressed against a  bone. These are the neck, inside of the elbow,  the wrist,  groin,  behind the knee, ankle joint and foot.
